The arrival of 74 trucks carrying 903 tonnes of supplies is another big gesture for humanitarian relief inside the Gaza Strip. There are several immediate needs that affected communities have that can be met through food, shelter and educational materials.

Logistics operations have continued to be significant for the UAE in Al Arish with regard to their role in organizing and dispatching more support as Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 extends. The new convoy is another testament to the nation’s commitment to providing a continuous humanitarian aid to Palestinian communities.
